Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais) frequently parasitizes snakes kept under human care. This mite is known to mechanically transmit the bacteria Proteus hydrophilus, which can cause hemorrhagic sepsis in snakes. This is the first record of O. natricis mite in Python reticulatus (Schneider) collected in captivity, in Brazil. The micrographs and drawings generated in this study, based on optical light microscopy and SEM observations, highlight an important identifying characteristic of O. natricis: The dorsal surface has two shields, consisting of propodosomal and pygidial, and the ventral surface has only the sternal shield trapezoidal with two pairs of setae, and pores on the edge. The identification of adults female of O. natricis mites in P. ...
